I don't get this. 'The Artist' was far more creative/risk-taking/whatever than 90% of modern films these days.
Yup.

Probably, but Tintin doesn't hold a candle to Rango anyway.
Well, I disagree. I enjoyed it more than Rango. I simply had more fun with it even though Rango was more original.

That shot was absolutely fantastic. I remember other good parts in that movie, but that scene is just breathtaking. Pretty much the thing I told people about afterward..."Yeah, it was a good family film, but it had this one scene that was AMAZING."

"The Academy are made up of people mostly over the age of 50 whose idea of a fun night out is having their driver take them to the Academy theater where they get to sit in their comfortable seats, have some wine afterwards and then be driven back home. These are not people who live in the real world. They never have been.
These are their choices in their secret club. Were allowed only to pull up a chair and watch. Some of us are smart enough to grab a bucket of popcorn and view the Oscars as theater. But we must never fall into the trap of thinking they mean anything." - SS

That's semantic bullshit.
Spielbergo's own hype machine for Tintin worked against him. Of course it's not going to help him to go on and on endlessly about mocap but completely ignore the hard ass work put by actual animators. I'm not surprised the academy's animation branch(or whoever responsible for the category) didn't vote for it.
This is all fine and dandy, but Tintin was a great animated movie.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
That's about films making the larger nomination list though, isn't it? Tintin made it to at least the semi-finalist stage I believe. It didn't make the final cut.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't make the cut for similar reasons - there are plenty in the animation branch of the Academy who still aren't comfortable about the use of motion capture in animation, and that could have affected their voting in determining the finalists. I believe it was mentioned in another thread that people like Brad Bird are pretty vocal about it.

10 films nominated now and yet they still cant get it right, SMH!!!
Dark Knight would have been left out even with the 10 film thing.

I agreeish. I never disputed that it was good.
The conversation started over people acting like it not getting a Nom was a huge snub and the film has been a massive success. When neither is really the case.
The Oscars are (supposedly, but we all know otherwise) about the best movies, not the biggest hits. Whether Tintin made 500 bucks or 500 million bucks has no bearing on whether or not it can be considered a snub.

And the reviews show that TinTin aren't that great even without grosses. its reviews have been mediocre at best. 68/74%
LMFAO!!! ITS TRUE, ITS SO FUCKING TRUE BWBWBWBWBWBABAAAAAAHAHAHAH!!!

no Reznor and Fassbender got me miffed.
But then we have so much Tree of Life in the nominees that I can't really get mad at this list lol.
And oh well, Fassbender will get his nomination when that dogshit oscarbait Noah's Ark film comes out from Arnoasofky
edit: eh I made it a little too obvious how much I don't like that director...

Risk taking, well not really. There is a working system of public financed movie production in europe. If you are in the system you don't have to be that successful as long as you are critically acclaimed.
And creative, well Mel Brooks already did a silent movie quite some time ago. And if the story was that creative, I don't know.
I feel like a lot of pretentious crap winning stuff is just as bad. If we don't have a year when a "godfather" comes out I feel like they just shouldn't hold the awards.

It just hit me that Gary Oldman and Jonah Hill have the same number of Academy Award nominations.
I'm pretty happy that Rundskop ( Bullhead ) got nominated. I'm a student at the film school where the director teaches and also used to be a student.
It's a great movie btw. If you haven't seen it be sure to give it a try. It's a story unlike what you would ever see in an American film. It's not pretentious btw.
It probably wont win though. But a nomination is ok in my book.

Please let this be the new "Three 6 Mafia has an Oscar and Martin Scorsese doesn't"!

Drive in a nutshell.
Oh man I hope Kermit and Bret McKenzie perform that song at the awards.
You can simplify any movie like that. Also, there is no sex scene in Drive *cough*

Really? That dude's post was retarded but it did make sense. Ryan Gosling's entire human interaction involved *I'm so cool so I'm gonna take a while to respond*
When people say he should have been nominated it baffles me. I'm still not sold on Gosling outside of Half Nelson to be honest. He's a good leading man but not that good of an actor yet.

Yeah forreal, but I was talking about the other guy's post (the one with all the retarded caps and stuff). There certainly was no banging but the relationship between Carey Mulligan and Gosling was bizarre as hell.

I am really beginning to think the Weinstein and Scorcese group pay the Academy to get awards/nominations.
Also I find it highly convenient that in every Oscar year there is ONE actor/actress who has never won and finally wins adding to the drama

I didn't find much love for Awkward Pauses: The Movie either, but I'm also not remembering much sex scenes. Perhaps that got edited out of my version.
I wasn't a fan of drive either.
It wasn't a bad movie. But to me it had a lot of wasted potential. It just felt empty. There was hardly any character depth and bad pacing. 1/4th of the movie was Ryan Gosling staring. And as a european film student I'm used to watching art films.
I liked the idea of seeing car scenes like that in a movie like this though. It was a pretty original concept. But like I said. A lot of wasted potential.

GARY FUCKIN' OLDMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!
That'a boy!
Probably asking for too much for the Academy to finally recognize him with the actual award, though.
Should have never admitted he was a conservative all those years ago. :/
Billy Zabka (Johnny Lawrence from The Karate Kid) has the same number of Oscar nominations as Gary Oldman!

Not a mind blowing selection but there are some epic movies comming out this year, so next years Oscars should be pretty kick ass.

Hahaha, Jonah Hill is now an Oscar Nominated Actor :lol
I hope Michelle Williams finally gets her Oscar!
Awesome to see Max von Sydow getting a nomination.
Hope Scorsese gets the Best Directing and Woody for Best Screenplay. Not really sure who I'm rooting for Best Actor, haven't seen The Artist yet, but my guess its between Dujardin and Clooney, and Clooney wasn't really that exceptional in The Decendents, just good.
Why is War Horse nominated for Best Cinematography? It was fucking awful (except for the no mans land scenes), felt so cheap and fake. Lubezki should win this easily.

No nomination for shame, steve mcqueen, michael fassbender, take shelter, michael shannon, nicolas winding refn, drive, or Trent Reznor. Well done, academy.
Edit- and how is berenice bejo a supporting actress? Oh, right, because the academy wants her AND meryl streep to win, for whatever reason. Lots of money from weinstein, I guess.
